Today, we’re delivering another update designed to make your exploration runs cooler and more challenging. We’re calling this one The Invasion Update, and it includes new enemies, new relics, more phantoms, and even more traps! [previewyoutube=ErYRx0FaG5w;full][/previewyoutube] Based on community feedback we have restructured temples and made them all single-path. Rather than using a bunch of branching paths leading into the inferno, you will now start alongside all other players on Floor 1. We have also recreated Relic rooms in Ruins and Caverns. Relic Rooms can now contain multiple relics, but you may find yourself confronted with nothing more than a bag of sand if luckier looters beat you to the prize. The Inferno still has a single relic, and picking it up is the only way to free the phantoms and seal the temple forever. The Invasion Update also includes new Homing Bomb enemies who will chase you down and explode on impact, and Defenders who will be the end of everyone who comes too close. New Floating Mines and Dart mines will provide yet another explosive moment to your grand adventure. As an added bonus, Phantom Abyss is available at 25% off until September 27th. https://store.steampowered.com/app/989440/Phantom_Abyss/ We are dedicated to expanding Phantom Abyss even further throughout Early Access, so make sure to share your thoughts, feelings, and wishes with us in the comments and on the forums. P.S. In case you missed it, check out episodes 1-3 of Ask the Abyss, our weekly community Q&A.
